Jon Taylor

Artist Jon Taylor constructs humorous situations that critique disturbing human habits. He utilizes aspects of sculpture, performance, photography, video, and drawings, to talk about basic, universal needs such as food, shelter, and companionship. Through this light-hearted approach, he seeks to expose selected absurdities of modern life and explore new modes of existence.

Currently in the middle of a stretch of residencies, he has been to Jentel, Wyoming, Vermont Studio Center, The Berwick Research Institute, and upcoming at The Bemis Center in Omaha, NE and Sculpture Space in Utica, NY. His work will be exhibited this fall at the New Bedford art Museum.

Jon Taylor was born in New Jersey. He received a BFA from Alfred University and an MFA from UMass Dartmouth. He resides in New Bedford, Massachusetts.
